4 years, $500k per season. Seems a fair price tbh.

Agree, I would have been a buyer at that price every day of the week.

To me it suggests that Madge is pretty happy with Liddle/Simkins. I would have loved him but there is the risk that he becomes a third wheel at $500K. We couldnt keep him, Liddle & Simkins, one would have to leave and IMO he is tough and a good worker but too small for Lock

Thought we had him...

That would be the reported payment.
Clubs the media like. They like to give a smaller figure to make a statement that it’s an astute signing. Clubs they think are run poorly, the media will embellish the figures to give the impression it was a desperate buy.
I’d say it sits somewhere in the middle.
Any chances Dragons move him on this season and pick up McCullogh?

I'm guessing unless we miraculously get Laurie our squad is finalised for round 1 now. Wouldn't expect any movement from here.
Sharks set to lock in McInnes on four-year deal

Cronulla are set to sign Cameron McInnes on a four-year deal from 2022 after the Dragons failed to table a formal extension offer.
While McInnes's future has been the subject of much consternation over the past month, NRL.com understands the Sharks have snuck under their traditional rivals' nose with a lengthy deal worth around $500,000 a season for the St George Illawarra skipper.
No comment has been made by Cronulla or the Dragons at this stage.
McInnes informed teammates of his departure on Tuesday morning after negotiations with the Sharks began before Christmas.
Over that time speculation around his future under new coach Anthony Griffin mounted as the club kicked off negotiations with McInnes.
Throughout the talks, St George Illawarra officials stressed the 27-year-old was well and truly in their retention plans, but a formal offer was never pushed across the table.
Wests Tigers also had the NSW Origin squad member in their sights but never entered formal talks with McInnes after he met coach Michael Maguire, who he has a bond with from their South Sydney days, for a catch-up before Christmas.
McInnes is expected to play lock for the Sharks, a plan that is understood to have been communicated to rising young hooker Blayke Brailey.
His recruitment is a significant move for coach John Morris, the first major roster move in a year where several big-money contracts of star Sharks players come to an end.
McInnes is coming off the best season of his Telstra Premiership career and was selected in Brad Fittler's NSW squad for the State of Origin series but did not play in any of the three matches in November.
As for the Dragons, McInnes’s looming exit points to Andrew McCullough being pursued even more heavily from Brisbane.
The Broncos have insisted the veteran rake won’t be released, particularly with the Dragons pushing for Brisbane to pay a further portion of his 2021 deal.
New coach Kevin Walters has Jake Turpin on his roster while Kiwi international Issac Luke has remained at the club on a train-and-trial basis over the off-season.

We at the Tigers have endured literally a decade of non performance and much of that was caused and accompanied by poor management. It is a test of patience and loyalty as a fan and I am grateful to at least have a glimmer of hope based on current management.
But my god, imagine being a Dragons fan. That would be a slog.
Edit: some online rumours that McInnes is part of a player swap with Woods going to Dragons.
